CYBER-i (AGC NETWORKS) AND INTEL SECURITY ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP

FOR MANAGED SECURITY SERVICES GLOBALLY

Mumbai, India March 3rd, 2016: CYBER-i, the cyber security division of AGC Networks, a
leading solutions integrator company and Intel Security today announced a strategic Managed
Services Provider (MSP) Partnership to offer outcome based managed security services across
the globe. This will give the customers a credible solution designed to effectively and proactively
prevent/monitor and respond to security incidents in their organizations.
The level of cyber threats is increasing exponentially and this has led to a shortage of skilled
security professionals. Thus the overall demand for managed security services in India and
globally has increased as organizations seek to maximize/remediate network security through
managed services. CYBER-is partnership with Intel Security will offer security practitioners with
a trusted, reliable security advisor to remotely monitor and support customers while allowing
them to maintain control over partner branding, licensing, reporting, billing, and pricing.
Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Atul Khatavkar, Global Head, CYBER-i said We are
extremely excited about the partnership with Intel Security and the opportunities it brings to
CYBER-i in allowing us to continue to grow in multiple areas of Cyber Security including
Managed Services, Consulting, Advisory and Training. Our Global Security Operations Centre
(GSOC) based on Intel Securitys technology backbone is now fully operational in our Mumbai
office. We can now offer end-to-end managed services to organizations across business
verticals including critical infrastructure, e-commerce, IT/ITES and online retail and to name a
few, on premise as well as on cloud, thereby helping organizations thwart advanced threats
including zero-day attacks. We at CYBER-i feel confident that aligning ourselves with Intel
Security, a leader in the cyber security field will create a win-win situation for our customers,
employees and the alliance itself as we continue to grow globally.
Commenting on the association, Mr. Jagdish Mahapatra, Managing Director for India and
SAARC at Intel Security said, The demand for managed services in India has been peaking
as small & midsize enterprises look to increasingly transfer the security responsibility to trusted
partners. The combined strengths of Intel Security & CYBER-i will offer a world class managed
services framework to the category. Our solutions are designed to enable organizations to
become future ready while reducing their overall cost of securing the enterprise. This can help

shift their capital costs on security to an operational expenditure model, allowing them to
potentially counter technological obsolesce and improve their overall security posture.
The industry adoption of managed security services is fast growing as many customers need
expert implementation partners for deployment. Moreover, as enterprises struggle to come to
terms with the rapidly evolving security landscape, they look towards strong partners who can
help architect solutions that enhance their security outlook.
